curl

curl command in java (using Apache libs : HttpClient and commons-cli)

Setup with maven

<dependency>

<groupId>org.toile-libre.libe</groupId>

<artifactId>curl</artifactId>

<version></version>

</dependency>

Usage

    org.apache.http.HttpResponse org.toilelibre.libe.curl.Curl.curl (String curlParams);
    String org.toilelibre.libe.curl.Curl.$ (String curlCommand); //Returns responseBody

You can import static these methods :

    import static org.toilelibre.libe.curl.Curl.curl;
    import static org.toilelibre.libe.curl.Curl.$;

Examples :

    $("curl https://localhost:8443/public/");
    $("curl -k https://localhost:8443/public/");
    curl("-k https://localhost:8443/public/");
    curl("-k --cert src/test/resources/client.p12:password https://localhost:8443/public/");
    curl("-k https://localhost:8443/public/redirection");
    curl("-k https://localhost:8443/public/unauthorized");
    curl("-k -L https://localhost:8443/public/redirection");
    curl("-k -H'Host: localhost' -H'Authorization: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000' https://localhost:8443/public/v1/coverage/sncf/journeys?from=admin:7444extern");
    curl("-k -X GET -H 'User-Agent: curl/7.49.1' -H 'Accept: */*' -H 'Host: localhost'  'https://localhost:8443/public/curlCommand1?param1=value1&param2=value2'");
    curl("-k -X GET -H 'User-Agent: curl/7.49.1' -H 'Accept: */*' -H 'Host: localhost' -u foo:bar 'https://localhost:8443/private/login'");
    curl("-L -k -X GET -H 'User-Agent: curl/7.49.1' -H 'Accept: */*' -H 'Host: localhost' -u user:password 'https://localhost:8443/private/login'");
    curl("-k -X POST 'https://localhost:8443/public/json' -d '{\"var1\":\"val1\",\"var2\":\"val2\"}'");

It also works with a builder

    HttpResponse response = curl().k().xUpperCase("POST").d("{\"var1\":\"val1\",\"var2\":\"val2\"}").run("https://localhost:8443/public/json");

How to get Google Homepage with this lib :

    public String getGoogleHomepage (){
        //-L is passed to follow the redirects
        return curl ().lUpperCase ().$ ("https://www.google.com/");
    }

You can also specify three additional curl options using jvm code :

javaOptions.interceptor can be used to surround the call with a custom handling
javaOptions.placeHolders allows to define substitution variables (useful mostly for long payloads to avoid StackOverflowErrors)
javaOptions.connectionManager allows to specify your own connection manager for pooling purposes or optimization purposes (warning, this will break the trust insecure behavior)

curl()
   .javaOptions(with().interceptor(((request, responseSupplier) -> {
       LOGGER.info("I log something before the call");
       HttpResponse response = responseSupplier.get();
       LOGGER.info("I log something after the call, status code is {}",
       response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode());
       return response;}))
                      .connectionManager(new PoolingHttpClientConnectionManager ())
                      .placeHolders(asList("fr-FR", "text/html")).build())
   .hUpperCase("'Accept-Language: $curl_placeholder_0'")
   .hUpperCase("'Accept: $curl_placeholder_1'")
   .run("http://www.google.com");
